Pulp & Paper

Wood pulp can be created through either a chemical or mechanical process, which transforms wood chips into pulp fibres. These pulpy fibres are the basis for an exceptionally wide range of paper products; from tissues and paper towels to cardboard and packaging materials.
West Fraser produces two types of pulp - Northern Bleached Softwood Kraft (NBSK) and Bleached Chemical Thermo-Mechanical Pulp (BCTMP).
As a diversified forest company, West Fraser supplies the majority of the wood chip fiber necessary for our pulp operations from our lumber mills. West Fraser is a stable and long term producer of wood pulp in western Canada because of our capacity to internally generate fiber.
West Fraser supports our quality pulp offering with a commitment to service based on an understanding of our customers' needs, production process and logistics expertise. Our ability to respond to our customers technical requirement is supported by our membership in FPInnovations, one of the world's leading pulp & paper research and development organizations.
